A posteriori discontinuous Galerkin error estimates for transient convection–diffusion equations
AbstractA posteriori error estimates are derived for unsteady convection–diffusion equations discretized with the non-symmetric interior penalty and the local discontinuous Galerkin methods. First, an error representation formula in a user specified output functional is derived using duality techniques. Then, an Lt2(Lx2) a posteriori estimate consisting of elementwise residual-based error indicators is obtained by eliminating the dual solution. Numerical experiments are performed to assess the convergence rates of the various error indicators on a model problem
Robust error estimates in weak norms for advection dominated transport problems with rough data
We consider mixing problems in the form of transient convection--diffusion
equations with a velocity vector field with multiscale character and rough
data. We assume that the velocity field has two scales, a coarse scale with
slow spatial variation, which is responsible for advective transport and a fine
scale with small amplitude that contributes to the mixing. For this problem we
consider the estimation of filtered error quantities for solutions computed
using a finite element method with symmetric stabilization. A posteriori error
estimates and a priori error estimates are derived using the multiscale
decomposition of the advective velocity to improve stability. All estimates are
independent both of the P\'eclet number and of the regularity of the exact
solution
Weighted Error Estimates for Transient Transport Problems Discretized Using Continuous Finite Elements with Interior Penalty Stabilization on the Gradient Jumps
In this paper we consider the semi-discretization in space of a first order scalar transport equation. For the space discretization we use standard continuous finite elements with a stabilization consisting of a penalty on the jump of the gradient over element faces. We recall some global error estimates for smooth and rough solutions and then prove a new local error estimate for the transient linear transport equation. In particular we show that for the stabilized method the effect of non-smooth features in the solution decay exponentially from the space time zone where the solution is rough so that smooth features will be transported unperturbed. Locally the L2-norm error converges with the expected order O(hk+12), if the exact solution is locally smooth. We then illustrate the results numerically. In particular we show the good local accuracy in the smooth zone of the stabilized method and that the standard Galerkin fails to approximate a solution that is smooth at the final time if underresolved features have been present in the solution at some time during the evolution
A posteriori error control for discontinuous Galerkin methods for parabolic problems
We derive energy-norm a posteriori error bounds for an Euler time-stepping
method combined with various spatial discontinuous Galerkin schemes for linear
parabolic problems. For accessibility, we address first the spatially
semidiscrete case, and then move to the fully discrete scheme by introducing
the implicit Euler time-stepping. All results are presented in an abstract
setting and then illustrated with particular applications. This enables the
error bounds to hold for a variety of discontinuous Galerkin methods, provided
that energy-norm a posteriori error bounds for the corresponding elliptic
problem are available. To illustrate the method, we apply it to the interior
penalty discontinuous Galerkin method, which requires the derivation of novel a
posteriori error bounds. For the analysis of the time-dependent problems we use
the elliptic reconstruction technique and we deal with the nonconforming part
of the error by deriving appropriate computable a posteriori bounds for it.Comment: 6 figure
A posteriori error bounds for discontinuous Galerkin methods for quasilinear parabolic problems
We derive a posteriori error bounds for a quasilinear parabolic problem,
which is approximated by the -version interior penalty discontinuous
Galerkin method (IPDG). The error is measured in the energy norm. The theory is
developed for the semidiscrete case for simplicity, allowing to focus on the
challenges of a posteriori error control of IPDG space-discretizations of
strictly monotone quasilinear parabolic problems. The a posteriori bounds are
derived using the elliptic reconstruction framework, utilizing available a
posteriori error bounds for the corresponding steady-state elliptic problem.Comment: 8 pages, conference ENUMATH 200
